cabinet lights

[b21playa]

what is the best way to wire these up?

My kitchen is back to bare brick and I was thinking of cutting in a patress box and put a flex outlet plate on it in each wall just above the wall units and then from here, send a wire in series to each light on that wall's cabinet.


Is this method ok?

You really need a 3A FCU so you can disconnect supply to do any maintenance.

How about I install a FCU on one wall from the main light, then next to this the first erminal box where the switch wire will go and the wire for the next terminal box

Not if he takes the feed off the lighting circuit, which would be advisable.

Kitchen light is last in the circuit, so was thinking of coming straight off that

No problem with that. Assuming you want the cabinet lights switched at the same position as the ceiling lights then just take a feed to a jb or outlet near first cabinet light and then go in series to the last. This job is notifiable to the labc so don't fall foul of part p/the law !

Ok mate

I'll cut the patress boxes in and put wires in, leave leccy to do final connections.

Lights will be switched, so wil switch them in jb

If you want them (the cabinet lights) switched separately then you can't come off the kitchen light itself, you will need a feed off the loop in.
